I expected horrible service because I've been here before. It's been about 15 years since I had come and it was bad then and maybe worse now. Such a shame how much business this owner has driven away. $9 for a small guava gelato is what my daughter got. I asked if we could sample a flavor and the response was a cold "no". For $9 you should allow sampling. It's a shame that she didn't even finish it because she loves guava but she said it wasn't good and was icy. Let's me know it's not fresh. Won't be back for another 15 years. Don't waste your hard earned money here. read more

The gelato is amazing. I had a medium cup with two flavors- lemon and strawberry with a cone on top. Yes a cone on top, he's won't put the ice cream inside because they end up breaking. I've read a lot of the reviews about the owner and I think he's misunderstood. He's got dry humor and at first walking in I thought the same as all these other reviews that he's grouchy but, once you realize that's his personality/ he's actually quite a funny any interesting guy. He wouldn't recommend anything and he's right ppl taste things differently, or put ice cream in a cone lol but he was cracking jokes the whole time. We had a twenty min convo with about diff things while finishing our Gelato and he's really a good person, you just have to get through the initial whet seems rude. read more

We absolutely love going to Farley's any time of day, he has the best flavors, we love his attitude and his "ways". If you're sensitive, this isn't the place for you. Very "old fashioned" but that's the way we like it. Once you get talking and get to know him, he truly is a great man. Will always go back time and time to visit and get our gelato cravings fixed. Love the music always playing along with the quiet atmosphere. Always has the best flavors too. read more

True artisan gelato. This place is a gem we're lucky to have it in this town. The gelatos are hand made with pure ingredients - and just a couple of them. I like the lemon or limoncello. read more

The gelato texture and flavor is very high quality. He doesn't do samples, but if you ask him about the flavors the owner can describe all of them very accurately. For example: amaretto tasted exactly how he described (cherry, vanilla, and chocolate). The salted caramel and the tiramisu are also very tasty. I look forward to trying the fruity flavors next time I eat here :)) read more

Nothing but great things to say about this place. It's super clean and has great Gelato. I'll definitely be back to try the coffee. My bff and I also had a great conversation with Gary, the owner. He's an 80yr old Green Beret that knows a thing or two about life and is full of stories. He's from a different era so that may rub you the wrong way but you shouldn't let it... Stop in, say hello and support a veteran owned business! read more

Worst experience! my family and I wanted to try the gelato ask for an opinion about which one was a good one to try and the owner was super rude made rude comments..... i should've just left but felt bad because he was an older man but won't ever come back to this place ever and the prices were high too so it's a no for me..... he should just retire at this point! awful service.... read more

I got the tiramisu gelato and it was definitely a treat! I loved the pieces of cake to chew on. I was helped pretty quickly by the owner who makes the gelato himself! The scent of this cafe is incredible, it smells of good coffee. read more

This dude is arrogant as can be. He tips $0 for a delivery. I carried, delivered 50 lbs worth of products and got $4.50 . That's on tax deductible expenses. read more

Oh the things I can say about Farley's. First off, let me say that the product is absolutely incredible. Probably some of the best ice cream I've ever had. However, I haven't given this establishment my business for quite some time now. My one and only complaint is the owner. His service, his attitude, the way he treats his employees and his customers is absolutely abysmal. He is rude and borderline verbally abusive to people. I honestly think he should hire a manager and give complete control of the business to them. And the business would be majorly successful. I wish I could recommend this place, but I can't. read more

High quality Italian Gelato and coffee! The Salted Caramel coffee is the Best. Beautiful Ambiance! I can tell the owner put his heart and soul into his business. When he's feeling in a good mood, he tells the cutest jokes! Bless him! :,) read more

It was 100 degrees outside so I wanted ice cream. I stopped by here and chose their dulce de leche flavor. It costs $8 but they did load the cup. One thing that was about annoying was how they split their gelato flavors across a 90 degree corner. read more

Farley's Gelato & Coffee Roasting - Dulce de Leche - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lancaster, California

Stopped by on Saturday, 04/27/24 for the first time. Ordered the following: - 1 large cup (which I believe comes with 2 scoops) = $8.65 We asked for the Amaretto, Pomegranate Blueberry and Cafe Espresso. The elderly gentleman (owner) perhaps didn't hear us say Cafe Espresso, or we were only allowed to choose 2 flavors. Bummer as I was looking forward to trying the Cafe Espresso! My boyfriend tried this place before and warned me about the owner of this place (who is a former war veteran and customers would portray mix reviews about him). The owner was very calm, nonchalant and patient. I did not have a terrible experience at all. We went around late afternoon so there weren't a lot of customers. read more

This coffee and gelato shop is SUPER underrated. After having spent time in Italy, I can say that Farley's has an authentic Euro vibe with warm interior craftsmanship, relaxing music, beautiful detailing, and, of course, Italian sweets & caffeine. This business must be protected!! read more

Great gelato and hot chocolate. Always kind to my husband and little girl. We've gone a couple of times already and it's been welcoming. We'll be back again read more

Wonderful local business with a great ambiance. Perfect for a casual cup of coffee and conversation. The gelato is very good and the service is quick. All of the drinks are made fresh and I loved my dark cherry mocha. They have non-dairy options too. I'll be back soon! read more

The service is horrible the gelato is expensive for a small cup. The prices were blacked out don't know how much I was paying for

The man behind the counter was RUDE! The menu was as he put it " 4 years old and he can't reach it " so all the prices are 4 years old. we questioned the almost 10$ price for one 16oz iced coffee , he responded so rudely " the prices on our menu are 4 years old because it can't be reached . Unless you haven't been alive in 4 years, the cost of everything has gone up". The drinks were not good and one was made from a concentrated coffee when it should have been a drip. it is clean , I give them that much. Overall, was not worth getting off of the freeway for, let alone for the price of 20 for 2 drinks. Starbucks across the street was better and cheaper and the staff was so nice and sweet. read more

Farley's Gelato & Coffee Roasting - False advertising. The menu is 4 years old so the prices are also 4 years old . - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lancaster, California

Great gelato. Mr Farley takes great pride in his work and you can taste it. His lemon gelato is the best ever.

Place is extremely clean. My Fiancé and I went on a Sunday we had just had ramen and decided Gelato seemed like a perfect way to top our day off. We entered the establishment and waited a short while then the Gentleman who I assume is the owner greeted us. we did notice there is no pricing anywhere so we asked about the prices and he explained the pricing Small $8 something 1 flavor Medium $9.10 2 flavors and large $10.25 or around there for 3 flavors. Pricing is not bad when you take into account that it is not your regular ice cream it is hand crafted gelato ya'll made with fresh ingredients it's gonna be more expensive than your regular ice cream. The gelato was really good, smooth and creamy will definitely be coming back. read more

Gelato was great, nice and relaxing spot. Great place to stop by for a coffee with a mellow chill vibe.

My favorite spot to get hot chocolate in the Antelope Valley! The ambiance is cozy and perfect for relaxing while drinking your drink. The owner is incredibly sweet and always makes you feel welcome. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Farley's is not what we expected. With so many negative reviews we almost didn't try them. So glad we went anyway! When we arrived the owner and his friend were the only ones in the building. This meant we got to have a long convo. While the owner's political views are very open and his sense of humor is very dry, we had a good time chatting him up for almost 20 minutes! After our talk we got the strawberry and lemon gelato (pint sizes of course) to take home. While the prices were high, $15/pint, it wasn't unexpected. Both gelatos were amazing and lasted us a few days. The lemon tasted a bit like a more sour sherbet. It was delicious, but you really can't have a lot at once. We know we get some hate for this, but gelato just doesn't seem to be our thing and not as good as soft serve. We still say you should try out Farley's. If you really want some fun, start talking politics and the military with the owner. Happy eating Yelpers! read more

Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Being rude to me is one thing. Being rude to children is another. Will never return to the establishment. read more

What can improve? The owner Garys attitude and customer service. My sister in-law and I were waiting patiently at the counter while he held a conversation with customers ahead of us who already paid. Initially, I thought this was great because he seemed personable. The minute I got to him I ordered an ice coffee. Then I told him I was going to order a gelato but I was going to get the name of it. Now the display is built in 90° angle and gelato cases are split. So, I stepped away and told him I just wanted to make sure I got the name correct for the flavor. Again this takes no more than a second. In that short amount of time, he was heard telling me "no you come here" ... since my sister in-law and I were paying as one and ordering together she kindly told him "oh we are together". When I stepped back I asked him "excuse me? Sorry, I just wanted to make sure I told you the right flavor." .... His response: "why don't you just let me run my register the way I want, it's my store, my rules". We were so confused and didn't understand where this poor customer service came from, but to be disrespected the way we were was so wrong. We turned around and left immediately. What a sad disappointment... and I recently learned he's a veteran? That's the biggest disappointment of all. DO NOT come here. read more

Amazing little gelato shop in Lancaster. I truly enjoyed the gelato and the conversation with the owner. The ambiance was similar to the small cafes you find in Napoli or Venezia. Very impressed and will return to try more flavors. read more

Overall experience was neutral I was a little underwhelmed by the choices maybe in the summer they'll have more? The service was decent wasn't terrible wasn't good was just neutral there was nobody in there with us. There is a lady that came and got a tub of gelato for 30 something dollars, my son and I got two small scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone that cost $18 to me. That seems a little high the coffee prices seem more reasonable than the gelato definitely don't recommend if you're on a budget this is not the place to come. However, the pomegranate, blueberry and chocolate tasted very nice. however it seemed they might have been sitting for a while as it was thick or when gelato should be smooth definitely a try and see if it fits your taste, however we will try once more in the summer to see if there's any new flavors other than that if non-we won't be back. read more

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience, the older guy behind the counter was extremely rude and made sly remarks, we did not feel welcomed in the store, paid for the gelato and left. The Gelato itself was not the best or the worst but the service definitely left more to be desired. read more

Stopped to get some coffee, read the previous reviews and was worried but decided to try it out anyways. Paid $9 for a 16 oz that doesn't look appealing. I love my coffee and was excited to try this place but ultimately bummed on the quality. If it was amazing coffee and treatment I would be happy to spend that much but this place is not for young coffee lovers. read more

Today I found this wonderful hidden gem in Lancaster. I'm actually embarrassed that I've lived out here in the Antelope Valley my entire life and have never seen this place before. I just really wanted to say how much I recommend this shop. I met Gary today who owns this place and explained to me the process of making this gelato and without even tasting it you can see the hard work and dedication that goes into his craft. He's 80 years old and has this place spotless and running better than ever. I got the double chocolate, cake batter, and cherry cheesecake flavors and they are all three Devine!! He also has dairy free and soy free options that looked super tasty. I'd also like to say that in the short time I spoke with Gary, I grew an immense amount of respect for him. This shop has a beautiful ambiance, excellent customer service, affordable prices and most importantly, the best hand crafted gelato you will find in the Antelope Valley!! You've gotta give this place a try! read more

Farley's Gelato & Coffee Roasting - Tiramisu gelato is delicious. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Lancaster, California

Gelato was good but I won't be returning if I want dessert. I came here with my friend and noticed immediately the price menu was completely blacked out which should have been my first clue that the ice cream could possibly be overpriced. We ordered two of the smallest gelato cups and were charge $8 each. I could understand $8 was for maybe the larger cup of ice cream but for the tiniest cups? Nah, no thanks. Plus the cashier gave off weird vibes, so much so that my friend wanted to just pay and get out ASAP. read more

The old man def had a tone and the demeanor changed when he was not in agreement with ya.. but I would say I was polite and he was fine back. He doesn't wear gloves, but I've worked in fashion island Newport Beach and that gelato place doesn't either so.. I think handling a spoon is a bit different than scooping with his hands, I would say other reviews may have hit a nerve with both parties & it went a bit excessive. The gelato was good, but it didn't have the smooth texture that I've seen with fresh scoops. I doubt they get much traffic & the batches were probably there for a while. That being said, a med and large $19 was a bit much even in this economy. I'm sure that's what most places charge but I wasn't expecting it. I really liked the flavor of the grisbi and if you're wanting gelato in the area, this would seem to be the spot. Just don't call it ice cream and go in knowing he has a grumpy tone.. read more

RUDE DONT COME HERE, had a horrible experience with the owner. He was just so bitter and the gelato was expensive

Delicious gelato! This was my second time in and another great experience! I got the lemon sorbet and strawberry sorbet and both were great! My boyfriend got the apple pie and chocolate hazelnut. Both were great! They have a large variety of flavors - and non dairy ones too! Reading the other reviews, the owner is a bit different. He says what he wants and when he wants. I see where it's a bit harsh to some but if you want good gelato, this is the place to go! Will I come back? Yes yes yes read more

Came by with kids. Nobody behind the counter. Old man sitting stared at me so I nodded to say hello. Kept staring then said, let me know if you need something. I asked if he could tell me what the most popular flavors were. He said "I don't upsell like that, the ice cream will taste just the way its labeled" in a rude and indifferent tone. I said, have a nice day and he went about face and walked away mumbling something. Just the facts. read more

This place is amazing love the Gelato and the gentleman behind counter doesn't hold back he's a joy to listen to. I'll definitely be returning. It's completely worth it! read more
